RasterDataSources downloads raster data for local use or for integration into other spatial data packages, like GeoData.jl. The collection is largely focussed on datasets relevant to ecology, but will have a lot of crossover with other sciences.
Currently sources include :
Source | URL | Status |
---|---|---|
CHELSA | https://chelsa-climate.org | BioClim layers only |
WorldClim | https://www.worldclim.org | Climate, Weather and BioClim layers |
EarthEnv | http://www.earthenv.org | LandCover and HabitatHeterogeneity |
AWAP | http://www.bom.gov.au/jsp/awap/index.jsp | Complete |
ALWB | http://www.bom.gov.au/water/landscape/ | Complete |
Please open an issue if you need more datasets added, or (even better) open a pull request following the form of the other datasets where possible.
Usage is generally via the getraster
method - which will download the
raster data source if it isn't available locally, or simply return the path/s
of the raster file/s:
julia> using RasterDataSources
julia> getraster(WorldClim{Climate}, :wind)
12-element Array{String,1}:

Install as usual with:
] add RasterDataSources
To download data you will need to specify a folder to put it in. You can do this
by assigning the environment variable RASTERDATASOURCES_PATH
:
ENV["RASTERDATASOURCES_PATH"] = "/home/user/Data/"
This can be put in your startup.jl
file or the system environment.
RasterDataSources was based on code from the SimpleSDMDataSoures.jl
package by Timothée Poisot.
